Quote from: xiombargI've referred to a Changeling game I tried to run a while back that went real dysfunctional real fast, and this was a big part of it: A lot of the veteran White Wolf players adamantly believed it was my job, as GM, to entertain them, not everyone's job to entertain everyone.
Although if you'd agreed with them and done as they'd expected, I don't imagine it would have become dysfunctional *grin*.

Again, an example of the importance of every player (including game master) recognizing his/her responsibilities and agreeing to them -- in this case, either game master wants to be source of entertainment or players recognizing that game master is not source of entertainment.
